A small souvenir of our gig at Ancienne Belgique some time ago. Thanks to Tomme for the picture.

On Saturday 24, Eavesdropper & Simon Lenski (DAAU, Lenski & Wiget,...) team up again for 2 (two!) live sets at Ancienne Belgique - Brussels.

We're invited to be part of the Carte Blanche weekend hosted by Wim Vandekeybus (for those who have been sleeping for the last 20 years, Vandekeybus is one of Belgium's most renowned choreographers, traveling the world with his performances and films...).

Other artists that night are Woven Hand, Marc Ribot and Flat Earth Society.

On Sunday, you can check out Pawlowski, Daan and much more.

In other words, Brussels is where you have to be this weekend. More info here.

Just because...

Eavesdropper and Polyfoon

Last weekend, i was invited to play along Polyfoon, a polyphonic ensemble. The night was called Death, and the repertoire consisted of 16-th century requiems and other works. It was a challenging and interesting experience, not only because of the talent of the 30-piece choir but also because of the acoustics of the beautiful Carolus Borromeus church in Antwerp.

Anyway, judge for yourself, if you feel like it. You can find an excerpt here.

Music for kids in Droesem

Next week, November 3, Droesem premieres. Droesem is a play for kids (and grown ups), questioning fairy tails AND reality. The music is composed by Eavesdropper, who, occasionally, goes totally classical. Anyway, below the poster and the tour dates. So bring on your kids and the kid in you.

Staying up to date is complicated...

...but i'll make up for it in the near future.

Time Code Matter II teaser

I'm currently working on Time Code Matter II with Audiostore. More info soon, but we definitely wanted to share this little teaser. Enjoy!

Concert download

There's a fairly good quality recording of my live gig at Le Bonheur in Bxl available for listening and downloading. Find it here, and let me know what you think (if you feel like it, that is).

Thanks for listening.

Live gig at Le Bonheur - Bxl

Our favorite record store in Brussels, Le Bonheur, is dealing with some serious financial trouble.
To boost the financial status of the shop, our man Thierry asked some people to play in-store gigs, and of course i couldn't say no. So next week Saturday (July 28) i'll team up again with the Visual Kitchen boys for a moment of improvisation with electronics and most likely a guitar! The gig starts at 8 pm.
Part two of the good news is that on the other side of the street Bar Walvis re-opened, so drinks after!

I'd really appreciate it to see some friendly familiar faces there. Thank you!
